Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 843 Small Meeting 2

No one present mentioned the matter of Vice Governor He. It seems that this person is indeed very powerful. He completed the communication with the Handong Provincial Party Committee in just a few phone calls. Well, he was able to accurately find a person like Li Luche to speak. He holds a high enough position and has a personal relationship with Qi Tongwei. It was impossible for him to refuse.

Qi Tongwei had already promised his senior brother that he would not pursue the matter further and naturally would not mention such matters again.

Secretary Wu then dropped a bombshell.

"At the same time, our Handong Provincial Party Committee has clearly designated Comrade Sha Ruijin, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department, to be in charge of the work related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Secretary Sha Ruijin will be in charge of this work in the future."

Qi Tongwei's pupils shrank for a moment and he almost couldn't hide his surprise. This was not something in the script. Sha Ruijin was actually in charge of the work on rural issues. The work on the red line of cultivated land was included in the rural issues. This could be said to be a job that the higher-ups attached great importance to. As long as he made achievements, he would be guaranteed happiness to take over as governor.

It's quite interesting. Qi Tongwei thought Sha Ruijin had been keeping a low profile in recent years, but when he got the chance, he immediately showed up. You know, since Sha Ruijin was transferred to Jiangzhou City, he has done almost nothing in nearly five years, yet he was promoted to governor. It seems that Sha Ruijin's father-in-law and adoptive fathers are still incredibly powerful.

"We, the Handong Provincial Party Committee, sincerely invite the inspection team to attend the Handong Provincial Farmland Protection Mobilization Conference this week."

This is also self-evident. The mobilization meeting for farmland protection was attended by a special inspection team from higher levels, which also shows that the higher-level leaders attach great importance to it.

The next thing Qi Tongwei did when he came here was that Secretary Wu took out a document from the table, which already had the reply from the higher-level Organization Department.

"Application for recommending Comrade Ji Changming and others for promotion and reuse"

When Qi Tongwei looked up and turned to the back, he saw that Ji Changming had been promoted from the position of Public Security Bureau Director to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. It seems that when one person succeeds, his family will benefit.

This old guy Ji Changming is one of Liu Dexu's confidants. When Liu Dexu was the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he trusted Ji Changming quite a bit. In terms of seniority, Ji Changming was the deputy procurator general and director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau twelve years ago. Now twelve years have passed, and Ji Changming has been promoted from the deputy department level to the member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which is a very fast promotion. If Zhao Lichun had not been driven away and Liu Dexu had not become rich, Ji Changming should have retired timidly as the procurator general.

However, he is still incomparable with Qi Tongwei, because Ji Changming is very old, now 54 years old. It seems that he will directly retire to the second line at the level of provincial party committee standing committee member.

Ji Changming was given an important position, having been transferred from the position of vice-governor at the vice-ministerial level to the position of member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He also has extensive qualifications, as his previous position was procurator-general. The remaining two are cadres who were recommended and promoted from the bureau level to the vice-provincial level. They were reviewed by the Provincial Organization Department and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and then reported to the Organization Department by the Provincial Party Committee.

The superior approval process includes the approval and signature process of the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in charge of the region, and it was also given to Qi Tongwei at this time.

Qi Tongwei saw that most of the approvals on the document had been signed, including Hu Haiou, director of the Second Supervisory Office in charge of Handong Province, who had already signed. Only his three words, Qi Tongwei's, were missing, which meant he intended to agree.

Although it was in line with the rules and he could just sign it here, Qi Tongwei still felt a little uncomfortable. Was this considered forcing him to sign?

There was no change on Qi Tongwei's face, but he didn't plan to sign now. He decided to go back and talk about it later.

“Secretary Wu, I have read this document, and the Handong Provincial Party Committee is still very conscientious in its work.

In that case, we should follow the normal procedure and have the Organization Department transfer it to me. I will sign it as soon as I return from my inspection.”

Secretary Wu and the other two were a little surprised, but then they thought that it was indeed against the rules to ask people to sign like this in the Handong Provincial Party Committee Office. If the management knew about it, they would think that these people were forming a clique and not even considering the organizational procedures.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, this is my fault. Let's report it to the Organization Department first, and then transfer it to you."

Qi Tongwei nodded, he had already expressed his attitude.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, we in Handong have sent Deputy Secretary Sha Ruijin as a representative to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department to contact Deputy Group Leader Che. I believe there will be a result soon."

It seems that Sha Ruijin will still be the new governor of Handong Province. Although Qi Tongwei represents the Commission for Discipline Inspection to manage Handong Province in different areas and has the power to supervise central-level cadres, the decision-making power for local officials has always been in the hands of the management level. Once a decision is made there, the Commission for Discipline Inspection cannot overturn it.

Unless there is solid evidence of violation of discipline, the management will change their minds. However, for Qi Tongwei, doing so is time-consuming and laborious, with no benefits, and it may not necessarily lead to the discovery of Sha Ruijin's violation of discipline. It is not a crime to like Zhang Daqian's paintings.

Perhaps for the higher-ups, for an important economic province like Handong, the balance of power is more important. Even if Sha Ruijin's ability is a little worse, as long as the policy inertia remains, the personal ability of the helmsman is not the first choice. Sha Ruijin's work attitude in recent years is still very sensible and he obeys the overall strategic guidelines. This is a big plus point. When the management considered Qi Tongwei's position at the end of last year, they considered Sha Ruijin as a candidate, but compared to Qi Tongwei, he was not perfect enough.

Qi Tongwei took a long puff of his cigarette. When he reached the position of a third-rank provincial governor, sometimes balancing the forces of all parties and being obedient might be more important than ability. No wonder some people would say that it is better to be reborn well than to do a good job.

Relying on the experience and wisdom of two lifetimes, as well as decades of memory, he finally got the opportunity to reach his current position. It actually took him forty years, not the apparent twenty years. But Sha Ruijin, an orphan, was able to safely rise to the third-rank official just because he became the orphan of a martyr and married a woman who was the daughter of a high-ranking official.

This world is so unfair.

After talking about almost everything, Qi Tongwei decided to leave first. It was almost time as he had an appointment to go online and play ranked games with netizens in the evening. After all, he was old and his hand speed was too slow, so he had to find a good teammate to reach the gold rank.

"Secretary Wu, Governor Liu, let's stop here today. I will go to these agricultural counties in the northeast of Handong to take a look at the situation tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

When the time comes, let Deputy Secretary Sha Ruijin accompany us, since he has been designated to be in charge of this work.

In the future, our inspection team will give daily feedback to Deputy Secretary Sha Ruijin."

The three of them stood up, shook hands with each other, and then Qi Tongwei turned and left.
